It's a group started in '71, I believe by about 47 "Catholic" nuns. They go around raising consciousness and power-lobbying the politicians before any major vote on "social justice" issues.

NETWORK: The Catholic Social Justice Lobby

Seriously, we could do worse than to join, take note and take action in opposition to their every move.

Not seeing anything there related to abortion. A link to a group called CTA--"called to action" indicates they're a pretty scary bunch.

I have a reason for wanting to know about nuns involved in abortion providing as a nun who does a lot of social justice work in these parts indicated, by a verbal slip, what I took as support for abortion.

I was chiding her on the extreme amount of pandering to the young unmarried women with babies. We constantly have giving trees at our church and they get enough stuff to have five kids. This sounds uncharitable, I know, but how about some hand me downs? I object only that it seems an undignified celebration of illegitimate birth and no stigma attaches. Stigma has an important place, or had. She said: "for those we work with who choose to have their babies," or some such statement which was ambiguous at the least. V's wife.
